Flashes of Panic

A lot of modern technology, for me, seems to be about setting up the right venue. For example, “podcasting” struck me as a faddish buzzword until I discovered that it also means “time-shifting NPR” and that having a load of podcasts on my iPod meant actually keeping the part of my brain that gets bored engaged on long drives. (I might have discovered this sooner if I drove anywhere on a regular basis.)

Today I discovered that I can make necessary phone calls if I’m walking somewhere. I can’t do it while seated in the house, or anything like that, but if I’m walking, no problem.

I don’t know what this means; maybe I don’t want to.
